Walter and all,
That is exactly what I did a couple years ago.  You should have seen the picture.  I loaded pollen on every flower that bloomed on NOREEN'S DELIGHT.  There were 7 pods.  Had flourescent green tags labeling each cross.  The pods were huge and heavy.  Had to stake the stalk.  (The largest and most prolific pods were on the first branch down by the way.)  I did the same on many other cultivars, but none took as easily, had some with 5 pods, but mostly 4.Get more from the Web.  FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com
